[Cucumber-linux-announce] Cucumber Linux 1.0 End of Full Support

[Scott C. <sc...@cu...>]

  Synopsis


This is the official notice that Cucumber Linux 1.0 has reached its end
of full support (as of September 30, 2018) and is now in selective support.

In summary this means that the Cucumber Linux Security Team is no longer
able to guarantee the security of systems running Cucumber Linux 1.0.
During selective support we will continue to publish security patches
when possible through November 30, 2018; however, we make no guarantees.
After November 30, 2018 we will provide no further security updates for
Cucumber Linux 1.0 whatsoever. Complete details about the Cucumber LInux
1.0 Lifecycle can be found on the Cucumber Linux 1.0 Lifecycle page
<https://cucumberlinux.com/lifecycle/cucumber_linux_1.0.html>.

We strongly recommend that all users of Cucumber Linux 1.0 begin
upgrading their systems to Cucumber Linux 1.1. Cucumber Linux 1.1 will
be fully supported through the end of 2019 and selectively supported
into 2020, as the table below shows:

+-------------+-------------------------+-------------------+
| Version     | End of Full Support     | End of Life       |
+-------------+-------------------------+-------------------+
| 1.1         | December 31, 2019       | March 31, 2020    |
+-------------+-------------------------+-------------------+
| 1.0         | September 30, 2018      | November 30, 2018 |
+-------------+-------------------------+-------------------+


  Upgrading to Cucumber Linux 1.1

Cucumber Linux 1.1 is a minor release of Cucumber Linux 1.x. Sticking
with the Cucumber Linux support policy, the process of upgrading from
Cucumber Linux 1.0 to 1.1 is designed to be as unintrusive as possible.
It is possible to update a live system and most systems can be updated
in less than 20 minutes without any downtime. A full guide for upgrading
can be found at
https://cucumberlinux.com/upgrade_guide/cucumber_linux_1.1.html.
